Your patient has been receiving NPPV therapy for the last hour with the following settings:IPAP=16EPAP=8Rate=10Ti=1 secondFiO2=40%An ABG was drawn to assess the patient’s acid-base balance, ventilation, and oxygenation. Below are the resultspH=7.22PaCO2=65PaO2=85HCO3=24SaO2=95%What can be done to correct the patient’s ABG?

You are working as an ICU Respiratory Therapist and are performing a ventilator-patient assessment. Upon assessment you notice the following issue on the flow-time scalarBased on the ventilator graphic, what issue is the patient experiencing?

Which of the following are ways to describe Pressure Regulated Volume Control Assist Control ModeI. VC+ ACII. S(CMV)III, AutoFlowIV, APVsimvV. APVcmv

True or False: S(CMV) mode is another way of describing Pressure Regulated Volume Control A/C.

True or False: When you increase the set Inspiratory Flow on a patient who is on VC/AC mode, you are increasing their Expiratory Time.  

True or False: Time Trigger breaths are associated with Controlled Breaths delivered by the ventilator.  

True or False: Mode asynchrony occurs when the selected ventilator mode is unable to match the patient’s spontaneous ventilatory pattern
